  • Mathematically speaking it can’t be, because if you put it in relation to only the OTHER people, you’d have to divide by zero which ends up non defined.

    It only works out when you put it in relation to ALL people within those criteria, thus dividing by one.

    I know statistics is different from simple fractions, but the arithmetic mean is close enough to nitpick the phrasing like that.

    But the consequence is the same: it’s nonsensical. N=1 means: “B*tch, I am the mean, the median, ALL the percentiles and the outlier!”

    Somebody should put this in a rap track.



  • MSG isn’t just enhancing umami, it tastes umami by itself, because the umami taste is triggered by receptors on the tongue that react to some amino acids, one of them being the glutamate in Mono-Sodium-Glutamate. The salty part comes from the sodium, which has its own receptors as well.

    This stuff is literally made for our taste buds.


  • Hard agree. I always struggled when using Discover, as a Beginner. Don’t know if I could make it work now as a more experienced user, Because I don’t use it and don’t have a need to. Learning how to use ‘pacman -S $pkg_name’ was super simple and is very fast. Sure I don’t have a nice GUI, that lets me browse what apps are there to be installed, but I have a webbrowser for that.
